Constructing a precise prediction model for screening growth hormone deficiency in children in a single laboratory setting: using the serum IGF-1-to-age ratio as a promising predictive marker
Based on data from this single-center study, our results suggest that the IGF-1/age ratio is a promising predictive marker that may be used to effectively stratify GHD risk and facilitate fast screening prior to definitive GH stimulation testing.
